A widowed circus midget and young father named Little Lou moves to Walnut Grove to try to make a living. He gets a job at the bank, but a prejudiced Mrs. Oleson refuses to do business as long as he is employed there. Jobless, Little Lou begins stealing from the mercantile to support his baby daughter. Just before he is set to go on trial for theft, Nancy falls down a well, and Little Lou is the only one who can reach inside to save her.

  • Moral: It's not the size of the dog, but what's inside and his actions that matter. And being different than the norm is no reason to discriminate, let alone ostracize others.
